Have there been any commercials for this in the U.S. at all? I haven't seen any.

Haven't even rented this like I planned to. From what I've heard around the web, this one isn't worth it. But I'd like to try for myself.

Definately agree with you. I don't want a new Sonic game every year, maybe every 2 or 3 years.
Even if the Black Knight came out 1 or 2 years after Unleashed I wouldn't want it; it looks pretty boring and not worth more then $15.

ah here it go, it debuted at 21 in the UK which is better than 30, but still is a underwhelming debute for the franchise.

Obviously, I don't think the Brits like that Sonic Team messed with one of their greatest mythologies.

I guess people would rather play a new House of the Dead(which is doing pretty well on the other hand) over a new Sonic game.

Actually...

Despite all the reviews? Go read them. You'll see.

You also get to fight Badniks instead of Underworld knights and the gameplay seems similar to previous games.

"Wow, SEGA put a lot of effort into this game!"

"Not that the last Sonic game is any frame of reference. F****rs"

What are the odds Sega never intended that line to be in the game. But the developers slipped it in and got away with it somehow.
Wishful thinking that Sega is actually...

Saying something is "not that bad" implies it is still bad in a way.

From what I saw from YT videos, it doesn't look "2/10"-kind of bad, but it looks dull enough for me to not even considering renting the game.

Talk about over-exagerrating. The game's not THAT bad.

Oh Dear...

Review by Roger Hargreaves - We've run out of rationalisations for what Sega is doing with Sonic The Hedgehog.

The only logical conclusion from the past decade of games is that Sega hates the character, hates the original games and hates their fans.

What makes it worse...

Wow, the dialogue is amazingly good. The voice acting is not so great but in every scene the dialogue and chemistry of Sonic vs. everybody is right on.

How do you get the "Legacy" levels?

Re: Sonic and the Black Knight :That Nintendo Power teaser = this?

feeds@yuku.com (the Krayon) — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 15:59:57 GMT
So I've now played many levels past the end of the story, and this game keeps getting better and better. After the fifth boss the game begins to get more challenging, and I've now run into several levels that I simply cannot beat. The improved difficulty is really welcome and I'm having a blast. In addition, levels are getting longer and more unique, and I've run into a lot of new gameplay features that were absent while still playing through the story. New enemies are popping...

That's the topic on the original Nintendo Power scans...

Could it be another Secret Rings type adventure?
